Pregnancy & Varicose Veins

It is estimated that up to 40% of all pregnant women develop varicose veins. Hormonal changes can cause vein walls to relax and stretch out. Further, there is additional pressure on the veins of the legs due to greater blood flow to and from the womb, and the size and weight of the expanding stomach. Any pre-existing varicose veins can be aggravated or worsened by pregnancy.
